Dewatering Tube Sizing Calculator & Solids Balance
Estimate dry-solids loading and cake volume; use approved unit capacity and quoted inputs for indicative counts and supply cost.
Slurry-to-cake sizing estimator
Start with measured feed data. Tube counts require a working capacity already established for the proposed assembly and cake condition. This tool does not design a tube or select a filling pressure.
Your indicative material balance
Enter positive volume, density and feed solids (up to 100% by mass) to calculate dry-solids loading.
Counts refer to cake storage against your entered capacity. Scheduling, fill/drain cycles, access, drainage, stability and contingency require project review. A target cake condition is an assumption until verified. No stacking, lifting or pump-pressure approval is implied.

Selected for your slurry. Manufactured for your project.
Turn feed information into a transparent enquiry basis. The estimator separates material balance from the engineering approval of a particular bag or tube.

Technical guidance for your project
Compare the published grades, then confirm the supplied construction and project requirements in the technical submission.
From specification to site
Fabrication, QA/QC & African project supply
Start with representative data
Use measured or justified feed density and dry-solids percentage by mass. Target cake dry solids and bulk density should come from trial results or an agreed design basis.
Keep capacity separate
Working capacity comes from the approved assembly and operating envelope. The calculator does not derive it from a circular cylinder, fabric strength or an assumed filling percentage.
Confirm the proposal
Send the calculated basis with the site, programme and required result. FlowTex can review fabrication and supply scope against those requirements.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator design a dewatering tube?
No. It calculates a solids/cake material balance. Unit counts, footprints and subtotals use the approved capacity, footprint and quoted unit price you enter; layout and operating limits still require review.
